Vardy's 24 goals for the Foxes proved crucial in Claudio Ranieri's side stunning the top flight by winning the Premier League title last season, which resulted in Arsenal making a move for the striker.

However, Vardy rejected a transfer to the Gunners as he opted to stay and help Leicester fight to defend their league crown and also do well in their first season in the Champions League.

The 29-year-old's rise from non-league football to Premier League winner is now being documented in an autobiography, which has been serialised by The Sun.

In the latest excerpt from the book Jamie Vardy: From nowhere, My Story the striker revealed how he drinks port the night before a game, three cans of Red Bull on the morning of a match and a double espresso just before kick off.

He also admitted that before joining Leicester, his recovery from a dead leg was hindered by his habit of drinking vodka with Skittles.

Reflecting on the eating and drinking habits at Arsenal, Keown admitted alcohol was not allowed by coach Arsene Wenger and is probably a good reason that Vardy did not join the Gunners this summer.
